As DeArment elaborates, during the 1870s and the beginning of the 1880s some of the most popular gunfighters came into Dodge City, one of them being Wyatt Earp (33). When Rebein declares that Wyatt was the best at what he did, he explained that he gained this title at his previous positions in other towns acting as a peace officer, in his book (79). The Wyatt Earp heard of today has been manipulated with different views of our history. According to Carter, “Exaggerated and belittled, twisted by fiction and sometimes lost in legend, Wyatt Earp’s character and career have been variously represented.
